The role of bitumen in strata-bound copper deposit formation in the Copiapo area, Northern Chile

In northern Chile, between 27 and 33°S, there are numerous deposits where residual petroleum is associated with Cu-(Ag) mineralisation (the most famous being El Soldado). All of these deposits are hosted by Lower Cretaceous volcanic or volcanoclastic facies along the axis of a former backarc basin. This close relationship suggests that the generation, migration and emplacement of hydrocarbons in the Cretaceous volcanic units is a regional process, associated with the evolution of the Cretaceous backarc basin and points to the importance of pyrobitumen as an exploration tool for similar Cu–(Ag) deposits. The present work analyses four small strata-bound copper deposits located along a north–south belt approximately 10 km east of Copiapó in northern Chile. These deposits are typically hosted by pyrobitumen-rich andesitic volcanic to volcanoclastic rocks intercalated with the marine carbonate Pabellón Formation, the youngest formation within the Chañarcillo Group. The strong genetic and spatial relationships between the pyrobitumen-rich lavas and the mineral deposits allow us to define this volcanic belt as the Ocoita-Pabellón Metallotect. Two hydrothermal events can be distinguished based on the mineralogical, textural, fluid inclusion and isotope data of ore and gangue and on the optical properties of residual petroleum. During the early event, petroleum was mobilised from the source rocks into the primary and secondary porosity of the lavas by Fe-rich hydrothermal fluids, which precipitated pyrite as an early sulphide phase. The second event is characterised by Cu-rich hydrothermal fluids, which induced three successive sub-stages of Cu-sulphide precipitation. The hydrothermal fluids chemically and thermally altered the first-stage bitumen, transforming it into pyrobitumen. The present work documents similarities between the Ocoita-Pabellón Metallotect and the El Soldado ore deposit and emphasises important differences. In the El Soldado host rocks, a petroleum reservoir existed prior to the arrival of the mineralising hydrothermal fluids, the framboidal pyrite was formed by assistance of bacteria, the S of the Cu sulphides was inherited from the pyrite, and the fluid source was basin connate-metamorphic brine. In the Ocoita-Pabellón Metallotect, the hydrocarbons were mobilised into the host rocks by hydrothermal fluids; the pyrite is epigenetic, the δ³⁴S values of pyrite and copper sulphides are very different, with distinctive light δ³⁴S signature of Cu sulphides (δ³⁴S between −44.7 and −17.9‰), and the calculated δ¹⁸O of hydrothermal fluids indicates the participation of meteoric water in the late phases of the hydrothermal system.

A Preliminary Review on the Metallogeny of Pb-Zn Deposits in China

Lead and zinc resources are abundant in China, with the reserves of 100 million tons ranking only second in the world. There are more than 3000 lead-zinc mine areas nationwide. The classification of lead-zinc (Pb-Zn) deposits has been a highly controversial issue. From the standpoint of evaluating the potential of mineral resources, we construct a Pb-Zn deposit predictive type of classification scheme, and propose a Pb-Zn deposit comprehensive classification scheme (including 5 classes and 13 sub-types) that regards mineralization as the primary factor and the ore rock as secondary. According to the temporal and spatial distribution of Pb-Zn deposits, we conclude that a multi-period, multi-cycle orogenic environment is the most favorable for lead-zinc deposit growth, that the Proterozoic is the major eon for the growth of igneous-type deposits, the Paleozoic is an important development era for sedimentary Pb-Zn deposits, and the Mesozoic and Cenozoic are the heyday eras of magmatic type lead-zinc deposits. On this basis, we analyse the relationship between tectonic evolution and Pb-Zn metallogenic, and propose that the key factors determining geological mineralization are the metallogenic epoch of mineralization and tectonic environment, which determine the temporal and spatial distribution.     

膏盐层在矽卡岩型铁矿成矿中的作用

矽卡岩型铁矿是我国富铁矿的重要类型,约占全国富铁矿总储量的60%。虽然膏盐层与矽卡岩型铁矿的关系已引起部分矿床学家的关注,但膏盐层的控矿机制尚不清楚。本文以我国最重要的大冶式和邯邢式矽卡岩型铁矿为例,探讨了膏盐层在矽卡岩型铁矿成矿中的作用。膏盐层富含碳酸盐、石膏和石盐等,不仅可以为成矿提供大量Na⁺、Cl^-、CO3²⁺等矿化剂,使围岩发生钠长石化、方柱石化（氯化）和矽卡岩化等蚀变,使Fe²⁺以NaFe-Cl等络合物形式搬运,膏盐层还是地壳深处最重要的氧化障,能够将硅酸盐熔体和成矿溶液中的Fe²⁺氧化成Fe³⁺,富集形成铁矿床,是矽卡岩型铁矿成矿的关键因素。大冶地区的膏盐层属于中三叠统下部的嘉陵江组,邯邢地区的膏盐层属于中奥陶统马家沟组—峰峰组。大冶和邯邢式矽卡岩型铁矿中硫化物的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值异常高,计算结果表明矿床中约80%的硫来自膏盐层硫酸盐的还原,还原温度多在500℃以上,但硫化物的沉淀温度相对较低,就位时间稍晚;硫酸盐的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值和还原温度越高,硫化物的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值越高,原始岩浆硫所占比例越高,硫化物的δ³⁴S_V-CDT值越低。当炽热的岩浆与膏盐层（CaSO₄）发生同化混染时,SO₄^2-将硅酸盐熔体中的Fe²⁺氧化成Fe³⁺,Fe³⁺无法进入硅酸盐矿物晶格,而形成Fe₃O₄/Fe₂O₃进入熔体,铁氧化物在磷、氯化钠、水等挥发分和盐类物质的作用下在岩浆房中与硅酸盐熔体发生不混熔,形成铁矿浆,沿构造有利部位贯入,形成矿浆型铁矿床。在矽卡岩型铁矿床中,矿浆充填型和热液交代型矿体同时存在,二者在空间上具有一定的分带性,有时渐变过渡,矿浆充填型铁矿体通常位于深部靠近成矿岩体的部位,而热液交代型铁矿体位于成矿流体运移的前方。在SO₄^2-氧化Fe²⁺的同时自身被还原为S^2-,与Fe²⁺结合形成硫铁矿,分布在铁矿的上部或边部。

通过沿汉江上游河谷深入的考察,在安康东段发现了典型的古洪水滞流沉积剖面.通过采集样品、实验分析,确定它们是古洪水在高水位滞流环境当中的悬移质沉积物.根据地层对比、OSL测年和相关文化层年代,确定它们分别记录了发生在BL+AL与YD事件转折阶段(12500 a B.P.)的古洪水事件和发生在1000-900 a B.P.(1000-1100AD),即北宋后期的洪水事件.根据古洪水SWD的高程恢复其洪峰水位,结合相关参数,利用面积比降法计算恢复流量.结果表明在万年尺度,汉江上游古洪水洪峰流量介于35970~47400 m³/s之间.同时,利用2010年大洪水洪痕恢复计算洪峰流量,对古洪水洪峰流量计算结果进行了验证.进而结合历史洪水和观测洪水数据,获得了汉江上游万年尺度洪水洪峰流量与频率关系.这为汉江上游的水利水电和交通工程建设以及沿岸城镇防洪减灾提供了基础性数据.     

Landslides in the Tandayapa Valley, northern Andes, Ecuador: implications for landform development in humid and tectonically active mountain ranges

Landslides are common throughout the Ecuadorian Andes, but their causal and controlling factors and their roles in landform development have not yet been systematically investigated. This paper reports observations and hypotheses arising from a reconnaissance study of the Tandayapa Valley in the Cordillera Occidental, approximately 30 km west of Quito. This study area is characterised by high local relief (ca. 800 m) associated with dissected mountainous terrain, high annual rainfall (>2,000 mm), and secondary-succession wet montane ‘cloud forest’. Regolith cover is extremely thin on the very steep (45 to >60°) upper main valley slopes, but there are thick accumulations of tephra on the slope crests and ridgetops. These deposits show periods of soil development separated by deposition events. Natural landslides in this environment comprise rare large deep-seated bedrock failures and occasional shallow failures on the steep upper slopes where potentially unstable thicknesses of tephra have accumulated. Landslides associated with construction of roads and forest trails are more common. Back-analysis of one road-cut landslide, using field and laboratory data to characterise the in situ weathered material where possible, indicated that natural shallow failures are unlikely in the absence of a surficial cover of tephra. By analogy with another mountainous tropical landscape, it is suggested that long-term landform development can be explained in terms of channel incision, driven by uplift, producing steep lower valley slopes that eventually exceed bedrock failure thresholds. Therefore, large deep-seated landslides appear to control valley slope form development, whilst the shallow landslides contribute to general denudation.

华南T岩体白云母化与铀活化的关系

白云母化是华南许多花岗岩型铀矿床常见的“前提蚀变”。T岩体白云母化呈面型分布,黑云母转变为白云母后,单位晶胞体积缩小,在等容交代条件下,粒间空隙增多,导致岩石孔隙度增加,为活化出来的铀准备了空间和迁移通道。黑云母在结晶过程中,吸附和隐晶捕获的铀及所包裹的副矿物中的铀也部分活化,引起铀配分的调整,使分散、吸附形式的铀增加。铀存在形式的转变和初步浓集,对花岗岩型铀矿床的形成是不可少的成矿机制之一。

海南岛东部滨海砂矿含有丰富的稀有元素和贵重金属,是一种潜在的矿产资源。根据不同矿物组分的沉积物存在地震波阻抗差异的特点,采用高分辨率单道地震反射勘探方法可以快速、有效地刻画海洋浅部沉积中砂矿的空间分布特征。介绍了利用地震属性聚类/分类方法对海南岛东部近海采集的单道地震数据进行地震相到沉积相的转换,实现对这一区域含砂矿沉积层的识别,然后与钻孔结果对比和综合分析,进而从空间上刻画砂层空间分布范围,为砂矿资源量估算提供准确参数。     

连云港海域废黄河水下三角洲北翼的沉积特征与空间分布

基于连云港海域浅地层剖面资料解释和16个站位柱状岩心的剖面观察、粒度分析、微体化石鉴定、有孔虫和腹足类纹沼螺的AMS 14C年龄,分析废黄河水下三角洲北翼的沉积结构、厚度和沉积物组成,划分沉积单元及其分布范围;识别海侵沉积区的沉积相,认识其沉积环境特征。结果表明,水下三角洲沉积体可分为三角洲前缘和前三角洲两个沉积单元,两者沿连云港海岸线呈并置关系。三角洲前缘位于埒子口至新淮河口外,为一NNE向进积、NW向倾斜的扇形楔状体,可识别出灌河叶瓣及其以东的叶瓣两个沉积中心。该沉积单元以砂质沉积为主,两个叶瓣之间的分流间湾分布有泥和砂质泥。前三角洲位于三角洲前缘西北侧,大致从埒子口外侧沿海岸带向海州湾展布。该单元为泥质沉积,厚度较薄,其北部的两个柱状岩心所揭示的沉积厚度分别为1.8 m和1.5 m。水下三角洲以北,海侵沙席分布广泛,厚度通常在20 cm左右。其分布在本区具有普遍性,只是在连云港海域被黄河泥沙所覆盖,由此也构成了废黄河水下三角洲的底界面。该界面具有侵蚀残留地貌特征。海侵沙席之下为晚更新世MIS 3阶段中早期的海陆过渡相沉积。沉积物多由黄色粉砂或砂质粉砂组成,含有较丰富的有孔虫、介形虫等,可见淡水纹沼螺。
